Chapter 555: Thunder and Lightning
There was thunder and lightning, and then, after waiting for a while, it suddenly started to rain.
The summer rain is not very heavy, but it comes very violently, mixed with thunder and lightning, and the rolling black clouds seem like millions of evil soldiers approaching.
The cool wind blowing in from the sea picked up the garbage that had not yet been cleared from the streets, and it turned and rose up in the alley.
Chang Wei took out a raincoat from the space and put it on. The hooded raincoat enveloped the whole person in darkness. He stuck to the corner of the wall without moving, but continued to look at the sky above his head, his eyes fixed, as if waiting for the sudden thunder from the sky.
Perhaps he was a little bored waiting, or perhaps he was just being childish. He pointed his sword at the sky and chanted aloud, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transform into divine thunder. Use the sword to guide the mighty power of heaven!"
A white lightning bolt came down from the sky, splitting the dark clouds, illuminating the trees on the street, the tall buildings, and the middle school boys in the alley.
"Boom, rumble..."
The thunder seemed to ring in my ears.
Chang Wei swallowed his saliva, quietly withdrew his fingers, and dared not look up at the sky again.
Several white people who came out of the building and were standing on the roadside waiting for a bus happened to see this scene.
A wizard in a cloak used a spell to draw out the thunder...
Is this really something that mortals can see?
Will he be silenced?
Chang Wei watched calmly as the white people left howling like ghosts. He was disappointed that the lightning failed to split the building in half. He couldn't help but start to daydream and slack off.
Are there supernatural beings in this world?
The sound of dogs barking from the fourth-floor window interrupted his thoughts.
He tugged at his raincoat, thought for a while but didn't take it off. He gestured towards the upstairs and watched the fallen dog's tail turn into a thin rope. He grabbed it and went up.
Wearing an electrician's uniform is just to prevent being discovered by innocent passers-by, so that they can have a concealed identity and avoid indiscriminate killing to silence them.
But it seems more convenient if you wear a raincoat.
At least you don't have to worry about being splattered with blood.
A white man who heard that a wizard had appeared in this place came to verify it. He happened to see a man in a cloak rising to heaven without moving his legs or feet. His throat slid up and down, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted on the spot.
Half an hour later, the rain stopped. Drops of water hung on the green new leaves, and the weeds on the roadside became soft.
Chang Wei walked out of the alley, slowly went to the seaside, looked back at the city, the lights from the busy traffic illuminated half of the sky, the dark clouds that originally threatened the city had become thinner and more relaxed.
He ate a bowl of wonton noodles at a roadside stall at the pier, listened to the stall owner and his wife complaining about how difficult life was, watched the little boy doing his homework on the small table under the dim light, stood up, left two dollars, and took the boat back to Kowloon.
The next morning, the pungent smell of blood filled the entire floor.
The Chief Inspector of the Central Police Station walked in pinching his nose. The ground was covered with coagulated blood and dead bodies were lying everywhere. Each one had been shot twice in the chest and once in the head.
And these dead bodies also had guns in their hands.
In the innermost office, there was nothing where the safe should have been, leaving only traces of its former existence, and a white sheet was hung on the wall where maps were originally hung.
The Chief Inspector recognized that there was a simple pattern drawn on it with a colored pen, which seemed to be a mahjong tile.
Five barrels!
"Any witnesses?"
"The building lost power last night after being struck by lightning. The floor administrator was repairing the circuit all night, and no one came to inspect it, but..."
"But what?"
"But last night, someone saw a wizard in the alley downstairs, using a spell to attract lightning. Someone else saw the wizard fly into the building."
"...You believe this?"
"Sir, the witnesses in front are several senior executives of Taikoo Trading Co., and the person behind is from the Governor's Mansion."
"...Put this confession in the report."
The case was investigated for two days without any progress.
Not to mention eyewitnesses, there weren't even any footprints left at the scene.
The most troublesome thing is that those who were killed seemed to be from a certain intelligence agency and had cooperated with the Sixth Bureau in the past.
The complexity of this case is beyond his ability.
"Sir, the Political Department called and asked us to close the case as an ordinary criminal case."
"Case closed? The killer hasn't been found."
“They said, you know what that means.”
The Chief Inspector took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After a while, he said, "Call Lei Luo and ask him to come and settle the case."
"Yes, Sir."
After receiving the call, Lei Luo rushed to Hong Kong Island to check the scene and looked through the files. He somehow felt that he seemed to have seen this method of shooting somewhere.
He didn't dare to think too much about it. After discussing it with the Chief Inspector, he notified the gang in Hong Kong Island to hand over the person.
So, the gang drew lots for life and death.
Anyway, you won’t be sentenced to death. If you win the lottery, you will get a resettlement allowance, and you will be a big boss when you get out ten years later.
A young man codenamed "Wutong" swaggered into the police station and surrendered himself.
After hearing the news, Chang Wei curled his lips in disdain.
No wonder Hong Kong has such a high crime clearance rate and is the safest city in Asia.
He left behind Wutong, but that doesn’t mean his code name is Wutong.
That was just his wish in his previous life.
Don’t mention compatriots, I just want to beat them up first.
"Now everyone in Hong Kong is saying that a master of Hua Jin was sent from the mainland to Hong Kong that day. Some people swear that the man wore a cloak, chanted spells, and could attract lightning out of thin air." Fan Tuaner spread the freshly dried bed sheets on Chang Wei and talked about the rumors on the streets.
Chang Wei recalled what happened that night, swallowed, and didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
"Are you sure no one saw you?"
"Don't worry, I'm wearing a raincoat."
"Raincoat... isn't that the cloak those people were talking about?"
Chang Wei rolled his eyes and pulled the newspaper in his hand to cover his face.
Fan Tuaner was stunned for a moment, covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything else.
"Go find Lei Luo and get this Fang Jinxin here. I want to talk to him."
Chang Wei pointed at a piece of news in the corner of the newspaper and clicked his finger.
Fan Tuaner had just put on the pillow case and gently placed it on the bed. She walked over, picked up the newspaper and took a look.
It was just an insignificant piece of news that Fang Jinxin and others became the first batch of Chinese entrepreneurs in Hong Kong stocks.
"Do you know stocks?"
"don't know."
"So...what are you looking for in stock economics?"
"This guy knows how to do it and has a lot of experience. Let's invest some money and let him test the waters first."
He doesn't understand stocks, but he remembers the stock market crash in 1965.
Fan Tuaner knew that he had the ability to judge people, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact Lei Luo later and ask him to go find the person."
"How is he doing?"
"He's doing well. I heard that he is planning to be transferred from the New Territories to West Kowloon as the Chief Inspector. There was no Chief Inspector in West Kowloon before."
"Well, he's a smart man. Now that things are in chaos outside, the British also need him to maintain the situation." Chang Wei looked at the cramped room and said irritably, "When will the domestic engineers come over?"
"I'm ready. I'm going to cross the sea with Du Ye tonight."
